Weather by Jenny Offill5/23/2023 EliĮli is Lizzie’s son, who is in a gifted program at his school (called the EAGLES). He becomes increasingly nervous about the news, which the story alludes to being Donald Trump’s election, and begins to join Lizzie in determining what they would need to create a doomstead. Benīen is Lizzie’s husband, a man who received his PhD in classics but had to take a job in IT when he was unable to get hired anywhere. Lizzie starts to frequent doomsday prepper websites where she learns how to use a can of tuna fish to make a lamp and considers whether it would be best to move somewhere colder. When she takes the job responding to podcast listeners, she begins to grow anxious about the future. Lizzie often finds herself having to care for the other people in her life, particularly her drug-addict brother and her religion-obsessed mother. She is a librarian on a university campus who often feels insecure because she does not have a degree. Lizzie is the narrator and protagonist of the story.
